How long ago did it change? As I recall Monokote takes more heat than Ultracoat, but shrinks about the same. Never did stick as well so lots of wrinkles on wood parts. Sometimes the adhesive would pull off leaving the clear MonoKote. In fact the clear and tranparents were the only really good MonoKote.


Sounds almost like you guys are discussing politicians here......

Reading through this thread I see a number of people had good results and a number of people question the quality of some rolls. To me it appears that this might be a quality consistency problem - maybe MK get their rolls from different suppliers/manufacturers, or the rolls are old and the glue have deteriorated - Personally I don't like to risk messing up a plane where there is a chance the stuff wont work properly - even a 20% chance - fortunately we have other brands and I prefer to purchase H9 or Oracover which I know have given me consistent good quality results for many years on many planes. You get what you pay for - there is no free lunch, not even on the Savanah..........
